Valerie Bertinelli Spumoni Recipes

Steps:

• Add the green onion, pepper, ginger, garlic and lime zest to a 12-to-14 cup food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until the vegetables are finely chopped. Add the salmon, panko, cilantro stems, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil and soy sauce. Pulse to roughly chop the salmon and incorporate into the vegetable mixture. The mixture should be chunky, not a paste. Lightly coat clean hands with nonstick cooking spray and form 6 patties the same shape and size as the buns, about 1/2 cup each.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to cover the pan. Add the patties and cook until the internal temperature is 145 degrees F, about 4 minutes per side.
• Assemble the burgers: Lay buns cut side-up on a clean work surface. Spread the mayonnaise evenly inside all of the buns. Place a salmon patty on each of the bottom buns, top with desired amount of pickled vegetables and cilantro leaves. Place bun tops on and serve.
• Add the vinegar, 1/2 cup of water, pickling spice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a small saucepan. Over medium heat bring the mixture to a simmer, then turn off the heat and add the cucumbers, carrot, shallot and chile. Cool completely. Refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Steps:

• For the ice cream: Whisk together the condensed milk, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. The mixture will become very thick; set aside.
• Whip the cream with a mixer on medium-high speed until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the cocoa mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold the lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour into a chilled 9-by-5-by-3-inch metal loaf pan, and freeze, covered, until thick and creamy, like soft-serve, about 2 hours. Swirl in any desired mix-ins with a spoon. Continue to freeze, covered, until solid and scoopable, about 3 hours more.

Steps:

• Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap so it hangs over the sides.
• Combine the melted ice cream, heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk and salt in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
• Place the cherries in a smaller bowl and press with a fork until they are mashed and juicy, but still retain some texture. Add one-third of the whipped cream mixture and fold together. Spread evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
• Add half of the remaining plain whipped cream mixture to a second smaller bowl and fold in the cookies. Spread evenly on top of the cherry layer.
• Add the pistachios and a few drops of green food coloring to the remaining plain whipped cream mixture and mix until the coloring has dissolved. Spread on top of the cookie layer.
• Cover and freeze for 4 hours.
• Using the plastic wrap, lift the ice cream mixture out of the pan. Slice and serve.
